                  [Item 2 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:]

                  This statement is filed by Steeplechase Corp.
("Steeplechase"), an Ontario corporation, Fairway Inc. ("Fairway"), a Delaware

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
                  --------------------------------------------------

                  [Item 3 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:]

                  The Reporting Companies or their predecessors interest have
used a total of $13,097,622 to acquire their Shares. The source of the funds was
the Reporting Companies and their predecessors working capital. At the time of
the purchases, the working capital of one or more of the predecessors of the
Reporting Companies included funds borrowed from commercial banks under lines of
credit.

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
                  -----------------------

                  [Item 4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:]

                  The predecessors of the Reporting Companies originally
purchased their Shares as an investment and expected that their ownership of
Shares would allow greater cooperation between the Issuer's vacuum cleaner
division and the Reporting Companies. The Reporting Companies are represented on
the Issuer's Board of Directors by Barry Needler, a director and officer of each
of the Reporting Companies. The Reporting Companies have decided to explore the
possibility of selling all of the Shares that they own. There can be no
assurance that any such sale will take place. In the event that such a sale is
completed, the Reporting Companies' representative on the Issuer's Board of
Directors expects to resign from the Board.

                  Except as described in this statement, the Reporting Persons
do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in:
(i) the acquisition of additional securities or the disposition of securities of
the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(iii) a sale of transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of
its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present Board of Directors or
management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number
or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (v) any
material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
(vi) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;
(vii) changes in the Issuer's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the
Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange; (ix) a class of
equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of
registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER.
                  --------------------------------
